I still don't see the point in writing something all over again, when you can write plenty of new stories, that people will love!!
She's even changed the cover for all her books, and the covers were beautiful before!!

It confuses me when I am browsing on amazon and it tells me I own a book I don't recognize because the cover has been changed.
Gabby wrote: "Laura wrote: "The YA Version of Ember is no longer listed on her list of series (on her website) it is listed on Goodreads though.Which kinda pisses me off considering I bought that book like all h..."Oh that's the deal with the covers? she changed the story from YA to NA.. Damn I have the YA version I think...

I got Darkness the other day and I'm super eager to start it but I've got a few R4R to get out of the way first and reading has been utterly impossible blah
Mod
That really is a pain in the rear
Laura wrote: "The YA Version of Ember is no longer listed on her list of series (on her website) it is listed on Goodreads though.Which kinda pisses me off considering I bought that book like all her others as s..."Yeah, I bought the YA right before she announced there would be an NA version. Truth be told I really liked the YA version. It didn't need to be changed. I had the same issue with Fallen Star series. I loved the YA version but tried to read Shattered Promises and couldn't do it
Jenny wrote: "I finished Beautiful Disaster, and I LOVED it!!!"Love me some Travis! Gonna read Walking Disaster, too? It was good, especially to see things from his POV.

It's free for me...Oh, damn, there's no more kindle version for the YA one...is it just me?? Does anyone know what's happened to it??
Mod
I signed up to do blog reviews for both of her new NA versions without having read either YA series first. I'm SO glad I hadn't, because they definitely weren't good enough that I would have been thinking "oh this is amazing, if only it were sexier!". LOL I really liked SP, and so far Ember is good, but they're not outstanding.

Ugh, just be prepared, it's a heart-wrencher!! But awesome! ;-)

That makes sense, lord these authors just try to confuse the hell out of us!! LOL

What sucks is that I bought A Hunger Like No Other and THEN I realized TWWF was the first book. Thankfully I figured it out - apparently I'm a little slow on the uptake.

In the YA version her relationship with Laylen is friendship first. In a way I didn't want my original Laylen sullied :) But since I didn't finish I don't know how it ended up.
Ember I enjoyed more than I thought I would. It definitely need to be steamier. The story was entertaining enough. But to each their own, right?!
Mod
It's not a problem though, u can go back without it being ruined!
Finished
good ending to the trilogy.Now to read the first book in the sequel series.
I'm about half way though
so far it's really good
Finished
. Really funny, light read :)

Okay, I checked on all the dates for these to write them down, looks like Wethering the Storm is pushed back to Aug. 20 so that's a bit of a break! Thank God, I'll be dropping others for that one, too!! =)
Mod
is just painful so far. SO completely far-fetched, disorganized, insta-love, and random shit going on that I can't even keep up with. Ugh, I love Jessica but this is going to be a rough one.
Erin wrote: "Wow, I really hate to say this but is just painful so far. SO completely far-fetched, disorganized, insta-love, and random shit going on that I can't even keep up with. ..."I own both the original and this one...maybe I will start with the original.
Erin wrote: "Wow, I really hate to say this but is just painful so far. SO completely far-fetched, disorganized, insta-love, and random shit going on that I can't even keep up with. ..."Argh! That's too bad. Well, at least it's one that I don't have to feel rushed to get to I guess. Haven't been able to get much reading done this last few days. Doesn't look like I'll be getting to much tonight either. With my kiddo graduating HS it's been a whirlwind the last few weeks. Hope I can get to some of the awesome new release this month.

Thank goodness, because it's insane the number of great new releases hitting this month. I woke up to loads of new downloads :) EEEKKKPPP so excited!!

I'm so jealous of her Tracy LOL! You go Erin! I'm living vicariously through you girl :D

Yup Laura, that's what happened to me at the beginnig when I started the series. I just went directly to Amazon and bought A Hunger Like No Other to start because they have it listed as book 1. It wasn't until I finished it that I caught it and bought the anthology and read The Warlord Wants Forever. After that, I just go straight to Kresley Cole's website for everything. But it didn't make any difference at all to the story. LOVE LOVE it :)

Now I am hooked."Yes, I really like this series too. Same as you I thought the premise for the story to be interesting with the whole spin on the Cinderella story. But I ended up loving Cinder so much and Scarlet was awesome . Hope you enjoy it just as much as I did :)

She really needs to write something new.

I can imagine audio is really hot. I get red-cheeked just reading some of the scenes in the previous books. Don't know if I could handle hearing them out loud!!

Did you Sylvia? I'm not sure if I do or not. Maybe if I would have read it first.
@ Bridget - ha! I'm sure my face gets red when I read some of those passages. (Of course, it's usually when my kids need something. Go figure.) I'm sure listening to it would be... Distracting. :)

have to say i really enjoyed this series, its YA but doesnt feel YA peob cause there's some pretty serious shit going on in these books.started

And the series as a whole is amazing. I totally fell in love with the species! ..."I am hopeful. I assume that a lot of the first book is set-up and world building. It seems very similar to the Breed series by Lora Leigh. I really liked that series and was looking for a new one that had that same idea. You know super-powered human-esque hunks who want to mate for life with some average Jane, and the tension of trying to deny their carnal desires, aka smut, delicious delicious smut. Open to suggestions btw.

Unfortunately it's not listed seperately, which is annoying. I had to add a small note in my review that I had both editions (I usually add them to my "kindle" shelf, but I couldn't do that with both of these) But, yeah, tell me how it is!!
